Weight training????

Do not worry about getting bulky from strength training. See this awesome thread for lots of before/after photos of lifting ladies. Spoiler alert - they got super hot, not super bulky.

Until your gym membership happens, you can do a bodyweight program at home. Might be a good way to get started since you aren't a big lifter now. Check out this beginner bodyweight workout from Nerd Fitness. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

I am currently on my 3rd week of Stronglifts 5x5 and I'm loving it. There is a really active MFP group for ladies doing Stronglifts. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/4601-stronglifts-5x5-for-women
